 version 1.5 release 1 by Phillipe Agnisola (C)2005 ------------- Introduction : ------------- IGlass is a library for BlitzMax PC and MAC programmers, it was designed to set up quickly a GUI for your own projects. This GUI is fully skinable with your hown png bitmap. Note : The mac version is an Alpha version (due to little bug with mac version of blitzmax) Visit my page : http://www.blitz3dfr.com/phpfrench/content.php?content.46 Download IGlass demo : http://www.blitz3dfr.com/phpfrench/request.php?30  |

| Very nice design, might be good to impliment the clipboard plus text hilighting/inserting/etc/etc |
| ||
| I know :) there is many task to do ... :) |
| ||
| where do I get this ? Is it released ? |
| ||
| Well... Some time ago I've purchased BCF GUI also made by Filax and I must admit I did not think long before placing my order for the iGlass GUI. It was sent to me in less than half hour after purchase and I am spending my afternoon playing with it. It's obvious there's plenty more to do but what is available so far works without any problems. The package includes additional skins and they are all done in Filax's high quality graphics style. I am looking forward to working with this very nice and useful GUI library. Barney |
| ||
| EDIT* sorry, I was being stupid :) |
| ||
| No problem Deux :) Many thanks barnabius :) i hope you will like it :) |
| ||
| Superdupercool Filax, GREAT!!!! What´s next.. /Alienforce |
| ||
| I downloaded the demos... what I want to know is how easy it is to create custom skins? Obviosly if I were to use this for a game, I would want to skin the system to match the theme of my game. Could you post an example skin png? Also, is there a full text edit area support, for something like sending an email? Cool looking stuff! RexRhino |
| ||
| Nice :) Although it would be better to have them in windowed mode for widescreen users :) 1 suggestion: some kind of fps counter ... seeing a gui working without it does not give any indication on its actual performance for real usage. |
| ||
| how easy is it to alter or add your own skin, I also have one of his products and would be willing to buy this depending on how easy I can make it look like a normal windows XP gui or how easy I can give it my own distinct look. |
| ||
| Yes you can modifiy an existing gui for create, some new, very easily you can redesign window title, background all color ! etc ... all is fully customisable ! IGlass use png file for design your hown gui. Dreamora : I don't understand very well ? each demo have a FPS counter :) but IGlass is very speed :) |
| ||
| Nice job filax. |
| ||
| Hey Filax! Can I use regular blitmax2d commands with it? Like drawimage,drawrect, etc? Or am I limited to using only the OpenGL commands? |
| ||
| I use 2D commands without any problems :) |
| ||
| Booticus : Without problem ! Iglass use standard bmax command :) |
| ||
| NO WAY! Thats awesome! I'll snatch it up with the quickness! |
| ||
| Congratulation Filax. This GUI is superb!! |
| ||
| yeah I have to agree, after looking at the demos, and playing around with it, its clear this is a really good gui.. I do have another question tho. will it support window mode ? with drop down file menus and such ? Probably a daft question but all the demo's were full screen so i thought id ask. |
| ||
| Of course ! windows mode supported i have make the demo in full screen because it's so fast. But IGlass support Windowed mode. |
| ||
| Of course ! windows mode supported i have make the demo in full screen because it's so fast. It struggles a little at high resolutions (1024x768 plus). When you move a window around which contains a listbox, the items in the listbox seem to trail the window. |
| ||
| Problem solved robert. Thanks for this reply :) And if you redownload my demo you can see an example in windowed mode "Example IGlass Tab" |
| ||
| hell, I AM gonna buy this product filax, hopefully you will keep this awsome product updated !!! |
| ||
| Don't panic :) i have buy a mac mini for make translation with mac os X :) PS : All my customer's are happy about services :) |
| ||
| The Gui looks very nice, Good job! The framerates leave a lot to be desired though. Do you plan to later go back refactor things for speed? |
| ||
| IGlass slow ?? i don't know :) i have try to optimize at maximum my GUI but i think Mark must speed up a little bit the 2D fonctions |
| ||
| IGlass is really a top-of-the-notch GUI, if you ask me. I looked at the demo (found the "Example IGlass Demo.exe" to be the best, as it shows everything), it runs at max resolution (1280x1024x32) at a steady 146fps and I ordered the full version on SHARE-IT within 5 minutes. I also took a look at your other projects (I didn't know that all those perfect demos were all your doing) and have to admit: you're the best :-) Thanks for this superb GUI. |
| ||
| @Power, is it easy to use etc... does it meet expectations ? sorry for the dumb q, but I want to buy it, just wanna here your thoughts,you have any demos you made ? |
| ||
| Deux :) this is an example to make a window and a button look this code he is very simple to learn only 7 line of code for setup gui and use interface : |
| ||
| I cannot use the GUI yet, as I selected Wire Transfer as payment option, and it takes nearly a week before SHARE-IT will get my payment. So, I didn't have a chance yet to try it out myself. But the demos are great. I suppose they were compiled using the full release (v1.09) of BlitzMax? Does the package come with full documentation about each command/method? And is the source-code for those 5 demo-exes also included? |
| ||
| Don't panic :) i glass i bundled with many simple examples (20) the doc is english and french and EACH command are explain with a little example. And of courses all demo have the source code included. |
| ||
| Stunning! One bug I found is that if you click on a button but keep holding the mouse down, then move it outside the button and let go, the window gets locked in place (you can't drag it by its title bar), until you click and release another button 'normally'. |
| ||
| It looks like a really cool product, and I placed my order 5 minutes ago. One thing that might help show how good the product is would be a game type skin. Most people are using blitz to make games or some other product like that. If you want to show off how the product can be used, I would create several example skins that fit in with a game theme. Maybe create a "Dragons and Fantasy" skin, or a "sci-fi game" skin, or perhaps a "Military" skin. That way we get a feel of how it would look in a game. |
| ||
| BlitzSUpport : Can you clarify ? what exemple generate this bug ? because i don't understand very well ? on the standar button ? windows buttons ? |
| ||
| Ok bug solved :) thanks blitzsupport :) |
| ||
| Filax, Just in case anybody else has reported a similar problem with IGlass, please read my post on this thread: http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=46764 It is regarding me getting corruption with text. Whenever any text is rendered the characters I, i and l (lower case L) gets displayed at only half the height it should be. I want to point out it appears to be a prlbme with BMax (or, more likely, combination of BMax (GL issue) and my graphics card) rather than your excellent IGlass GUI. Cheers. Daz. |
| ||
| i just purchased iGlass and i must tell that this gui is very Easy to use and the speed is good! (i'm using it to make an "editor" for my project!) Good work Filax! |
| ||
| Many thanks :) |
| ||
| Hey, I ordered iGlass, but instead of sending me iGlass you sent me the free GUI editor for iGlass! |
| ||
| lol :) are you sure ? do you look look inside attached email zip file ? because i have verify the email that i have send to you, there is IGlass zip under zip file ! |
| ||
| Just so people know, Filax sent me the right file... I just made a stupid mistake and was looking at the wrong file. Thanks for your help Filax! Great product! |
| ||
| No problem :) |
| ||
| Cool news :) i have made an alpha version of the mac os x version. But due to some little bug between IGLASS and blitzmax mac version, i hope offer a full mac release the last week.For the moment this version run to 95% correctly. |
| ||
| cool! mac osx version ;-) my order is on it's way ... keep up the good work filax! stephan |
| ||
| Filax, do you project to implement treewiew gadget ? |
| ||
| SUre :) but not now because i must make convertion mac fully before |
| ||
| I LOVE IGLASS :) - great work here fellow Filax !! |
| ||
| lol :) thanks :) |
| ||
| Does iGlass work with irrlichtBMX? If yes than I think I gonna buy it. |
| ||
| Steam: I don't own a copy of a iGlass (nor will I), but given a proper knowledge of OpenGL it should. All you should need to do is, after rendering and before swapping the buffers, push a new projection matrix onto the stack then make it an orthographic projection, then return to the modelview matrix, push a new identity matrix onto it. After that, you'll probably want to push new attribs onto the stack and reset stuff like blend modes and such. After which, you should be able to render with iGlass. Obviously, you'll want to pop all the matrices and attribute changes when done. If you're running Irrlicht with the D3D or Software renderer though, then you're pretty screwed obviously. |
| ||
| if you use an opengl code to open your graphics screen i don't know ! but it work perfectly with blitzmax graphics command. |
| ||
| This is such a great tool! I am so pleased with it! Took some minor fiddling to get my existing graphics working correctly (mostly 'settextimage' and 'set alphablend') but MAN! ITS GREAT!!! The existing GUI graphics are top notch, and I can throw my own feeble attempts at buttons and window backgrounds in with ease! EASE I TELL YOU! FANTASTIC FILAX! WORTH EVERY DOLLAR (or Euro! ;) ) |
| ||
| Lol :) what shouts of joy :) im happy if you like my GUI... If you make a nice skin can you post a screenshot ? I'm curious to see what the user's do :) I'm thinking to an opengl version wo work with some 3D engine like irrlicht or other but i must re-write some part of code because the max 2D commands are not compatible with a pure opengl template. Let's go filax :) go to work :) |
| ||
| hey filax ... not to much at a time ;-) first make your cool IGlass mac-compatible ... :) stephan |
| ||
| Don't panic :) i'm working on but i'm waiting for the next mac blitzmax release before :( because for the moment it's not ready to compile..... move your ass mark :) |
| ||
| IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR : chris graham You have register IGlass with a bad email adress ! i can't send your licence ! If you see this message contact me quick, but i have not other method to contact you ! |
| ||
| When I get the download link for your GUI from SHARE-IT and you send me the license, am I (and others who bought your GUI) entitled to get free updates as they come? If you implemented the said TreeView component, do we have to pay extra for this or can we download the latest version without extra cost? Greetings. |
| ||
| Of course ! lol ! all updates are free and you benefit of other control in the GUI. and for example if a user send me a bugfix or a new stuff to put under IGlass all the user's have it :) You must understand that IGLass is a package! it never was in my policy to make pay updates! Don't worry. PS : I prefer to make an opened system, rather than of reserved to an elite. |
| ||
| Filax. Its chris I sent you an email with my correct e-mail adress which is weird considering share-it had no problems emailing me my copy of the bill etc. Any further problems please let me know |
| ||
| Hi chris i have many problem with your mail adress :( my smtp server return an error each time ! see my smtp log : Can you give me another email adress like hotmail etc ?? Cheers PS : I receive well your message but i can't reply ! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is the SMTP Server program at host wanadoo.fr. I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message could not be be delivered to one or more recipients. It's attached below. For further assistance, please send mail to <postmaster> If you do so, please include this problem report. You can delete your own text from the attached returned message. The SMTP Server program ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| ||
| Here just signed up for this give this a shot: twistedcubedesign@... chris |
| ||
| I do :) check your email :) Pfiuuuu ! "i find it so hard work to communicate with you" like say the music band 'Archive' :) |
| ||
| Yup dloading in now. THanks. My be my providers spam blocking system if you are sending it through an automated system. Chris |
| ||
| Just had a look at the demos on your site, and this looks awesome. Congratulations. :) Muttley |
| ||
| filax: sounds you have the same kind of hoster I had before I left them. The mailserver does a full relay test on sending. The bad thing is that a lot of free mailservices and even more private hosters don't do it which leads to a mail incapability. |
| ||
| I have a dream : "Free isp :) with mega upload and no spam..." :) |
| ||
| Pfiuu :) i have release the first mac version :) there is some little bug but the gui is functional. happy day ... |
| ||
| Now upon playing with IGlass. (which by the way is great) I am having a problem every caption or window title I make the text appears to be shifted up about 10 pixels from where it should be be centered where it should in the button or title bar of the windows. Yet when I run the examples I do not have the same problem. But I can't the decrepetcy in my code that would cause this to happen |
| ||
| I think you have to throw the fonts that came with iGlass in the root folder you're saving out to. I think they were the blitz font and the arial.fon?? The same thing was happening to me till I moved those fonts in there! |
| ||
| Yes copy the two font in your exe directory, why ? Because blitzmax seem to have a problem with font INCBIN... the only solution for the moment is to let the file alone. |
| ||
| Okay I just bought this and I'm waiting for it to show up in my email. How do we go about getting updates as they are released? Will they be sent automatically to the same email address? Also how do go about getting the version for the different platforms? I use a Mac Mini at home and Windows at work. I assume there will be a linux version soon as well. |
| ||
| I received the Mac version, now where is the Windows version? |
| ||
| I have send two email. The first attached file is the PC version and in the second mail this is the mac version. Regards :) Of course i'll change your email adress for futur release :) |
| ||
| thank you very much. :) |
| ||
| With BM1.10 I now get a black screen... |
| ||
| Argh :) i'll try to install it this day and make the changes :) don't panic :) |
| ||
| filax, will you supprt the new dx framework if so i will buy it asap. |
| ||
| dx framework ? hum, i don't know ! but for the moment i'm working on the translation for the version 1.10 Grrrrr mark .... For IGlass user's : If your example made black screen try to comment : ' ------------------ ' Deactivate synchro ' ------------------ 'bglSetSwapInterval(0) And replace ' ------------------------ ' Swap buffer and flushmem ' ------------------------ ' bglSwapBuffers() By the FLIP command. |
| ||
| the dx framework is in the new update brl.d3d7max2d |
| ||
| The Iglass release coming soon. |
| ||
| filax, if i were to purchase, is there another of getting the software from you ? my work mail blocks all attachments, and share-it does not send to gmail. |
| ||
| Deux : Good news i have try to use : ' -------------------------- ' Load IGL gui ! important ! ' -------------------------- Include "./IGL_Classe/Inc_IGlass.bmx" SetGraphicsDriver (D3D7Max2DDriver()) ' ------------ ' Open graphic ' ------------ Graphics 800,600,32 Seem to work !!! And for the email i have not other method for delivering IGlass ! Maybe an account on hotmail ? :) hotmail work perfetly with share it |
| ||
| ok cool dude, gonna try and order now, how long does it take ? |
| ||
| when i'm go home :) i'm at job for the moment. |
| ||
| Great product. I'm loving using it. It's saving me tons of time and I highly recommend it. |
| ||
| Hi all I have make all debug for 1.10 version. I think release MAC & PC version at the end of the week. (Soon as possible) A++ |
| ||
| ok, i have bought it. Would i receive it today ? I have "plans" for the weekend :) |
| ||
| release coming don't panic :) when share it send me email a send my product soon as possible (1 / 3 hours) Show worklog for changes http://www.blitzbasic.com/logs/userlog.php?log=482&user=2162 |

| Suggestion: IGL_ScreenSelector 1> option to not display the refresh rate list. 2> provide complete list of refresh rates not just 60 and 75. 3> option to not auto-enter the selected graphics mode, give a way to find out what the user selected so we can set up the graphics mode ourselves. 4> use loops to determine the correct list of graphics modes instead of hard coding them. example: Const sizeCount:Int = 5 Global widthHeight:Int[sizeCount,2] widthHeight[0,0]=640 widthHeight[0,1]=480 widthHeight[1,0]=800 widthHeight[1,1]=600 widthHeight[2,0]=1024 widthHeight[2,1]=768 widthHeight[3,0]=1280 widthHeight[3,1]=1024 widthHeight[4,0]=1600 widthHeight[4,1]=1200 Const depthCount:Int = 3 Global bitDepth:Int[depthCount] bitDepth[0]=16 bitDepth[1]=24 bitDepth[2]=32 Const rateCount:Int = 9 Global refreshRate:Int[rateCount] refreshRate[0]=50 refreshRate[1]=60 refreshRate[2]=70 refreshRate[3]=72 refreshRate[4]=75 refreshRate[5]=80 refreshRate[6]=85 refreshRate[7]=100 refreshRate[8]=120 For size = 0 Until sizeCount For depth = 0 Until depthCount For rate = 0 Until rateCount If GraphicsModeExists(widthHeight[size,0],widthHeight[size,1],bitDepth[depth],refreshRate[rate]) Then DebugLog widthHeight[size,0] + "x" + widthHeight[size,1] + "x" + bitDepth[depth] + "@" + refreshRate[rate] EndIf Next Next Next gives me this output on my machine 640x480x16@60 640x480x16@75 640x480x16@85 640x480x32@60 640x480x32@75 640x480x32@85 800x600x16@60 800x600x16@75 800x600x16@85 800x600x32@60 800x600x32@75 800x600x32@85 1024x768x16@60 1024x768x16@75 1024x768x16@85 1024x768x32@60 1024x768x32@75 1024x768x32@85 1280x1024x16@60 1280x1024x16@75 1280x1024x16@85 1280x1024x32@60 1280x1024x32@75 1280x1024x32@85 1600x1200x16@60 1600x1200x16@75 1600x1200x32@60 1600x1200x32@75 combining these methods would allow the programmer to have all available modes and refresh rates. Maybe make two calls one to get the above list and then pass that into the IGL_ScreenSelector call. Then the programmer could make up his own list or edit the returned list and pass it in. This would give much more control to us.

| It's a good idea ! :) i take note :) I have made this screen selector for easy example but of course you can design your hown ! but i plan some stuff for IGlass screen selector. Cheers |
| ||
| filax, first off, AWSOME work, i love this ! however, when i try and launch a file open dialog box, or a message box, my application hangs. |
| ||
| hangs ? what this term ? bug ? Try to look how is coded the fileselector example under iglass . |

| the app crahses, well not crashes, but hangs, that is suspends, it just sits there. I cant seem to get this to work. Anyone else have this problem ? Anything that spawns a new window ? like message box or open file dialog. |
| ||
| It's very strange i have not this problem ??? can you post me an example to blitz3d.fr@... |
| ||
| i am using your message box example. Also, filax i see that the text on the windows are not aligned properly ? |
| ||
| Can you post a screenshot ? |
| ||
| err, I will do so. The titles are horizantally aligned too high on windows and buttons. Just give me some time to take screenies. I dont have much time on the internet on weekends. Also, do you understand my question about message boxes halting a program ? |
| ||
| good news filax, the new update you sent me fixed all the problems :) thanks so much, your speedy service and awsome program holds you in high regard in my books ! |
| ||
| Would you please explain to me how to make this thing work on Mac OS X. I tried with 1.09 and 1.10 with all modules sync'd. It simply refuses to link. mod/pub.mod/igl.mod/igl.release.macos.a is out of date; rerun ranlib(1) (can't load from it) I'm getting really fed up screwing around with this, I paid for it it should work. This is using the new mac 1.5.1 version you sent out this weekend. I tried the old version as well and it doesn't work either. |
| ||
| do you receive the 1.5.1 release ? |
| ||
| This is using the new mac 1.5.1 version you sent out this weekend. I tried the old version as well and it doesn't work either. |
| ||
| I can't explain this problem ??? what excatly not working ? compilation ? executing ? Can you make a new install of blitzmax for be sure ? |
| ||
| linking mod/pub.mod/igl.mod/igl.release.macos.a is out of date; rerun ranlib(1) (can't load from it) It won't even link the example programs |
| ||
| bmk has a ranlibdir option if that's of any use. |
| ||
| And the linking work with IGlass example or this code (see top) ? |
| ||
| This is the error during the link phase of all iGlass examples ld: table of contents for archive: /Applications/BlitzMax1.10/mod/pub.mod/igl.mod/igl.release.macos.a is out of date; rerun ranlib(1) (can't load from it) This is a brand new install of 1.09 upgraded to 1.10 and then mods where sync'd. Removed old iGlass and put the 1.5.1 version in the pub.mod directory. |
| ||
| Hi, mod/pub.mod/igl.mod/igl.release.macos.a is out of date; rerun ranlib(1) (can't load from it) For reasons I don't understand, MacOS has problems with copying '.a' files. Try (from the command line): bmk ranlibdir /Applications/BlitzMax/mod |
| ||
| Stupid mac sometime ... |
| ||
| Thanks Mark that fixed the problem. I was really getting upset, I've been fighting this thing all day. Sorry Filax. |
| ||
| No problem :) i love tracking "Xfiles" bugs :) |
| ||
| skn3[ac] : Clipboard read and write is included now :) |
| ||
| Hi, I've got my copy of IGlass now and I'm just starting to play with it. I noticed an odditie not sure if it's IGlass or BlitzMax related? In effect I'm building a tile map as a background and, although I could overlay the GUI I couldn't seem to get the tiled background to appear... However when I .... Render Loop Cls SetColor(White) 'This allows the backgound to display Draw Background IGL_RefreshGUI() End Render Loop ... Added a SetColor element the tiles appeared! Not sure if it's a bug or a feature ;o)! IGlass is cool! |
| ||
| edit the IGL_RefreshGUI() function and unmark: ' ---------------------------------- ' Redraw background image if present ' ---------------------------------- If IGL_BackgroundImage<>False Then IGL_DrawImage(IGL_BackgroundImage,0,0,IGL_WhiteColor) EndIf these lines, so the gui does not overwrite your background. |
| ||
| or more simple :) ' -------------------------- ' Init IGL gui ! important ! ' -------------------------- IGL_InitGUI(1) IGL_InitBackground("./IGL_Demos/Background_02.png") comment the line IGL_InitBackground("./IGL_Demos/Background_02.png") Because this line is only used when you want a background :) Cheers |
| ||
| Any chance of non molebox'd demos? |
| ||
| hmm? the media is simply incbined. ----------- Btw Filax, can you make a functiom that returns the current selected "number" of an item seleced in a combo box and not its "text"? |
| ||
| I dont have windows installed atm and its impossible to cedega a moleboxed app because it spaz's out, thinks im trying to crack it heh. I have no interest in the media |
| ||
| Grisu : Ok ! Marc White : ?? I don't understand ? the moleboxed exe crash ? |
| ||
| Filax, I am using Linux atm, My windows CD is borked and im awaiting a replacement to come through. There is emulation software for linux called Cedega that runs windows games. However because your .exe's are moleboxed, when cedega tries to run them, molebox thinks the .exe has been compromised and refuses to run. I don't expect you to build a special non molebox'd demo's for my situation. Is there any chance that Iglass runs on linux too? |
| ||
| Hi marc :) The problem for me is the linux installation ! it's the hell to install linux simply ! lol But if you you can advise me about a 'simple linux install" I would make a linux version,i think |
| ||
| Nice Gui Filax ! I used the BCF3 for Blitz3d and I will use Iglass for Bmax. Filax always gave a support of quality for its products |
| ||
| Simple linux installation. Mhmm: Simply mepis couldnt be easier to install, and works pretty much out the box on any hardware. www.mepis.org If you need any help, just gimme a shout and I'll you the best I can. |
| ||
| :) many thanks :) I try to make my possible:) |
| ||
| i have never had a support issue, i think your gui is superb. |
| ||
| Thanks :) |
| ||
| IGlass needs the MSVCR71.dll? I get this error with WinXP (no ServicePack) and a Radeon9600, PIV 2,4GHz and 1024MB Ram (DDR 333). Here's a (german) Error-Message:  -:excuse my ******* english :- ;) |
| ||
| ??? lol absolutly not :) i use only one or two WIN32 functions but nothing with MSVCRT ! maybe you have installed a 3D module ? or other who need this ? Be carefull if you have installed irlicht 3D engine ! if you don't make framework, irlicht is integrated automaticly under your blitzmax app ! you must distribute the DLL with your app ! Or maybe a blitzmax exe bug ? i don't know ! |
| ||
| yeah bruZard, works fine for me without the need of MSVCR7.dll at all :) |
| ||
| ok, i've installed SP2 and now: it works ... i think you should add this information to the system requirements ... at first: i dont have installed any third party module at second: this error came with the compiled demos :) "Windows XP - Service Pack 2" do'nt cry, i will add it to _my_ reqiurements in my docs ;) -:excuse my ******* english :- ;) |
| ||
| Maybe moleboxed exe ???!!! because i have packed my exe with molebox |
| ||
| Hi Filax, I'm trying to write a nice little tile editor and wanted a floating window with a scrollbar as a floating pallet. However all of the image features seem to be aimed at file or IncBin based simple images. However the simplest way to store the textures is from LoadAnimImage and use the index parameter provided by blitzmax! Would it be possible to use an Anim image array as well as a single image? Regards Merx |
| ||
| Its a very good idea to use a simple image for make toolbar ! i will look this ! but for the moment IGlass use only single frame picture but i plan a new animated button class :) but, shuuttt ! it's a secret :) |
| ||
| Hey Filax, great GUI. If you're looking for an easy and stablem Linux distro, I suggest you to install Red Hat Fedora 3. It's very very stable and the installation utility is very non-linux user friendly. It installs ok as a secondary OS if you've got windows installed previously. You can download it at http://fedora.redhat.com/ Hope you find this information useful. Congratulations for your GUI |
| ||
| Many thanks ! ziggy |
| ||
| Linux is hell !!! :( But :) i have compiled the Iglass module for linux :) dear customer's please check your mail :) Can you send me bug report for this version ? because i have test linux with vmware, i have not big FPS ... (0 for information :) ) but the module compilation don't report error :)  |
| ||
| Do you get the source with IGlass? |
| ||
| No for the moment i release only the module. Use the mac version under linux because bmax linux seem to have the same problem. But linux is not very easy to use for me... i hait typing 'klingon' under console .. |
| ||
| No E-Mail yet. Btw when do we get the windows release with the error fixes? |
| ||
| Are you sure ? i have send this email to all customer ! i'll retry to send you . |
| ||
| i have Mac and Win32 1.51 + your win32 tiny fixes pack. But Linux is not so important for me atm I only use win32. So any update there is welcome! :) |
| ||
| Do you receive well ? i have this adress : s.sarbok@... It is good ? |
| ||
| filax, can you please help me ? How can I incbin the assets ? I dont want people to mess with my skins and buttons. I want everything in the exe. |
| ||
| What ? |
| ||
| How do I release my app which uses IGLass, but prevent users from accessing my gui graphics. I tried Incbin but could not get it to work. |
| ||
| filax, its "only" a freemail address, but it should do. deux, for inc bin. Make sure that the paths+names set are "case sensitive" and use "/" inestead of "/"! Include media like this: Incbin "Data/panel_loading.png" Load media like this: Panel_Load =LoadImage("incbin::Data/panel_loading.png", Maskedimage) Try using debugmode to check for errors, also your exe file should become larger when you incbin stuff! P.S.: How about a "fresh" thread?!? |
| ||
| ah sweet, thanks bro !! |
| ||
| I still cant get it to work incbin "IGL_Demos/Background_04.png" IGL_InitBackground("incbin::IGL_Demos/Background_04.png") |
| ||
| I got it, you mean \ instead of / ;) |
| ||
| Aah ok ! lol sorry :) |
| ||
| npo man :) |
